For educators & course creators
Enrolment opens in two weeks. Nothing's in one place.
In Plexii, the new course gets one desk.
The problem
Building a new course while teaching the current one means two sets of plans, rubrics and messages. The new course's plan is in a spreadsheet, the rubric in a document and the guidelines lost in browser tabs.
In the video: “Enrolment opens in two weeks. The plan's in a spreadsheet, the rubric's in a doc, the guidelines lost in tabs.”
How PlexiDesk handles it
In PlexiDesk, the new course gets one desk. A desk is one canvas for one piece of work, and the video tours three of its widgets:
The plan
In the video: “Each week's lessons, and what's left to record.”
A Table widget lists each week's lessons and what is left to record, and can show them on a calendar or timeline.
The rubric
In the video: “How the final project gets marked.”
A Page widget holds the marking rubric for the final project.
The guidelines
In the video: “Accessible video guidelines, live on the desk.”
A Browser widget keeps the accessible-video guidelines open as a live web page on the desk.
When something else comes up
In the video: “Then two learners in your current class go quiet. Switch desks. The new course waits where you left it.”
The other job gets a desk of its own, so switching does not mean packing anything away. In the video, “Building: Data Storytelling” stays exactly as it was while “Teaching: SQL for Product Managers” is open. Open desks sit side by side as tabs in the open items strip, a click apart, and Resume writes a short note on where a desk stands for when you come back to it.
One desk for building, one for teaching.
